ABC has announced that Broadway's Kristin Chenoweth will guest star as herself on the next episode of THE MUPPETS, titled. "Ex-Factor".

In the episode, Kermit is scrambling to find the perfect birthday gift for Denise, so he turns to Miss Piggy for help. Meanwhile, Chenoweth agrees to do a gig with The Electric Mayhem and inadvertently causes a rift between the band. The episode airs, NOVEMBER 3 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

"Ex-Factor" was written by Nell Scovell and Emily Wilson, teleplay by Bob Kushell and Steve Rudnick and directed by Randall Einhorn.

"The Muppets" is co-created and executive-produced by Bill Prady ("The Big Bang Theory") and Bob Kushell ("3rd Rock From the Sun"). Randall Einhorn ("The Office"), Bill Barretta ("Muppets Most Wanted"), Debbie McClellan (The Muppets Studio) and Kyle Laughlin (The Muppets Studio) are also executive producers. "The Muppets" is produced by ABC Studios and THE MUPPETS Studio.

ABC has given a full-season pickup to “The Muppets,” with three more episodes ordered for a total of 16 in season one.

The order of three additional segs is unconventional but in keeping with this fall’s revisionist approach to new series orders — numerous shows have seen their initial 13-episode orders trimmed back — and pickup decisions. “The Muppets” hails from ABC Studios which gives the Alphabet some leeway.

The series has performed respectably for the network in the Tuesday 8 p.m. slot. Reaction to the show has been mixed, as some have been critical of the more adult tone of these Muppets. The show follows the behind-the-scenes activities of Miss Piggy as host of a late-night show, exec produced by Kermit the Frog even though the two have ended their long relationship.
